FRC LabVIEW Simulation

[jdaming]

We are trying to use the FRC Simulation Viewer to test our code.  We tested it on two different computers and both gave us this "blank" green screen.  Are we missing a step?  Is the base field no longer loaded?

Can you give us a step by step of what you are doing?

The simulator will only run from Robot Main so if you are trying to run a different vi I do not think the simulator will work.

Here's a good tool that can help capture your exact steps!

I called in and talked to K. Kidson.  She is going to check with R&D to see if they have any additional suggestions but her next step was to have us either do repair install or uninstall and reinstall.  Unfortunately that doesn't meet the "risk / reward" for both of these computers for us so we will just have to do without until the start of next build season.

I am changing the target on robot main and running it as specified in this document and the tutorial in LabVIEW.  I have done simulation in past years and have never had this problem.

Interestingly if I hit the pause button on the simulation I get error -310191

Just to follow up NI contacted me again to tell me this is a confirmed and reproduced bug.  Not sure why we are just seeing it now or any of the other details.  Hopefully this doesn't affect next year's simulation stuff.
